Key income for community news is flyer distribution

“We don’t mind fair competition, but this is using taxpayer dollars and an unfair advantage to deliberately undercut private business,”

said John Hinds, president and CEO of News Media Canada — an organization that represents some 800 private print and digital outlets across Canada . “Flyers are a major pillar of the revenue that funds local journalism,” said Hinds, adding newspapers are where two-thirds of Canada’s journalists are working and where people get their news and information about their communities.
